Here's how you squeeze it through a little space.... courtesy of JAck Redd describing a race he witnessed at Beltsville, MD won by my racing hero:
there was the time Ray Hendrick passed between two cars blocking him taking off both doors and he won.
I bet nobody bump drafts the replacement pace car like Dale, Sr. used to!
I'm really glad you cleared this up, Johnny! What with a rice rocket in victory lane and the bowtie up in flames, it wasn't a good night for Detroit. I think NASCAR has made a massive effort to sweep it under the rug. No mention again on the telecast and no mention in my morning paper.
I've submitted some photos to our photo site that member Bill McPeek took on Saturday, Feb. 15, 2014 during the re-enactment at the site of the old Daytona Beach Road Course. When they are finished posting I'll let Bill add to the descriptions. Here below are the same photos: 
And the boys in ARCA think that Dawsonville lad needs to get him some brakes.
Since the days when I was in the NASCAR Cup Garage around Richard Childress and Darrell Waltrip, my hair color has turned decidely gray.
However, I notice more and more on television that the hair of both RC and DW has turned a particularly unusual shade of orange. It's not the same color as Stevie Waltrip sported for many years, but a far cry from the dark hair each had when he drove.
Maybe some of y'all know. Do RC and DW use the same hair colorist?
Is that particular shade of orange only available in Welcome, NC and Franklin, TN?
Just wondering.
Glad y'all survived the rattling. Heard it was really bad around Augusta. Snow, sleet, freezing rain, thunder snow, earthquakes... maybe somebody upstairs doesn't like the "new" Chase format.
(CNN) -- A 4.1 magnitude earthquake struck Friday night in west-central South Carolina, the U.S. Geological Survey reported.
The quake was the strongest to hit South Carolina since 2002, local emergency management officials said.
The quake was centered 7 miles (12 kilometers) west-northwest of Edgefield, which is about 25 miles north of Augusta, Georgia, and 60 miles southwest of Columbia, South Carolina. The town of Edgefield has some 4,750 residents, according to the U.S. Census Bureau.
The USGS estimates the quake's depth was about 3 miles (4.6 kilometers).
That would be awesome if he had some photos he could share.
15th place Permatex 300 finisher, Ronnie Daniel of Lynchburg, Virginia raced every Friday night in Sportsman competition at my hometown Southside Speedway in Richmond and down the road on Saturday night at South Boston. He is listed as driving a Ford owned by a fellow Lynchburg driver, the late Earl Brooks.
Wonder if RR member, Harlow Reynolds was on that crew?
